[MOSAIC] Round robin reading

[Joy]

I'd like to add that you should also schedule times for an individual reading conference, where you do running records.

I think listening to children read is crucial at all elementary levels. If 
more teachers listened to their children, checked fluency and saw if they 
were using fix-up skills, then we would have less students who need remediation. 
I always thought that teachers should be listening to children during 
guided reading and as they become more proficient, release them to more silent 
reading. The problem lies there; teachers quit listening! Also, most children 
enjoy reading out loud in small groups, even intermediate grades. They beg 
to read, if you have them at the right level and in a supportive environment. 
You also do not have to read every paragraph out loud. You have them read 
the paragraph where they found text evidence to something someone questioned 
and then use it for discussion. Many times this is inferential. They like 
being like everyone else. So the answer I would give to the first grade is 
gradually release them, but keep listening, just make it purposeful for you and 
the reader. Everything in balance!
